They are to me Two entirely different types of media.
While one is better at the other in somethings
The other is better at the other in diffrent things

Books can get away with using the persons imagination to form things you couldn't describe.
While comics can use pictures to show things that books can't describe.
bad example but I Find that both are even to me.

Imagine your reading porn- would you rather see the penetrating member or read about it. Case closed

Depends on how much action you want to have, and what kind of comedy. Comics generally rely on visual comedy. Books on comedic dialogue. I recently decided to change a comic idea I had so that I could write it as a novel. As a result, it's more serious, and has a lot more character interaction. I'm also reducing the amount of action. Choose which one sounds like it serves your story best, and write with these things in mind.

Eh, I read a lot in both forms. While I liked Harry Potter the book, I wasn't all that interested in the comic for it.

Kick-Ass however...

The book version of a comic.

An example would be a Batman novel.

I did read something like that once Someone wrote the "No mans land" story arch as a novel. It was really interesting to compare the two.
